...Saving Not Building. Since his election, Pearson has been trying hard to repair the disunity. He has given French Canadians a stronger voice in Ottawa, has appointed a Royal Commission on Biculturalism, even modified a new federal, social-security-type pension plan to guarantee Quebec's participation. He conceives of a flag that all Canadians can salute as one more plank in the program, and for good measure, he hopes to substitute O Canada for God Save the Queen as the national anthem...
...uses up 2,000 h.p., more than the output of both engines of a wartime B-25 bomber. If built conventionally, it would have been far too heavy; for the XB-70A, fluid pressure was raised to 4,000 Ibs. per sq. in. in unusually thin tubing. Such changes save weight, but they also increase the hazards of a system that has already proved a notorious source of aircraft trouble...
...through the plane are details that cause cold shudders as well as admiration. Titanium and stainless steel skins are "sculptured" chemically, sometimes to a thinness of .007 in. to save ounces of weight. Electric motors run at a temperature that would bake a cake. Such novel techniques-and thousands more that have been used in the XB70A-are interesting but highly experimental.

Udall has told the Citizens Emergency Committee to Save Memorial Drive that he cannot declare the roadway a "national historic site."

Efforts by the inept GOP minority in the House to unseat him have failed, and for the moment anyway, Thompson, instead of being in irons, is still the Iron Duke of Ludlow...
